Defendant: Cesar.

Report: Defendant was standing near the rear of his vehicle, executing tasks associated with his line of work, when officer noticed the infraction during a routine patrol of the neighborhood.

Complaint: Gross dereliction of duty by Grammar Cop in not noting that the fucking address says "22th St."

Fine: How about a drink - I'm dry over here.

Wow, that really is the most spelling errors I have ever seen on the outside of a car.

I would personally be extremely embarassed to be riding in that thing.

Also, if your schedule isn't to demanding, you can bounce on over to my blog, if you want. ;-)

The one that always drives me crazy is when restrooms are labeled MENS or WOMENS instead of MEN'S or WOMEN'S. Oh, I get it, MENS must be plural for MEN! Dumb asses.

When the Chinese takeout on my street changed it's name to 'The Gourmet Wok' from 'The Gourment Wok' I stopped going.
